Chapter 1242:
Hadley caught her friend's drift inmediately. She shot Elissa a playful glare, popping her bubble. “He is with
Linda now, you know—they’ve already moved in together.”
“Really?” Elissa’s face registered complete surprise. “Can that be possible?”
“Absolutely,” Hadley confirmed, arching an eyebrow. “They've not only been a couple but also shared a home

“Unbelievable!” Elissa’s hand flew to her chest. “Speople really don’t hesitate when it comes to making bold

before. “Did you cough all night? Have you taken anything for it?”
“Yes, | have...”
“What did you use?”
“Letshow you.” Before Hadley could retrieve it, Melba was already extending the medicine to Eric. “I heard
